Wanted: Blizzard 1230/50mhz MANUAL

23 December 2002, 08:01

UPDATE 2/1/3: I now have a manual. Many thanks to all those that replied via email.

ORIGINAL POST:
I've just bought a Blizzard 1230/50, but as it is second user it didn't come with a manual

Is there much I'm missing?

If anyone knows where I could download one of these in PDF format I'd be interested to hear - I've only found one Blizzard manual in PDF format, but it was for the 1260 board on DCE's site.

As a trade - if you'd give up your manual or even scan it in for me, I have some original Amiga games I no longer use - without boxes, eg Cannon Fodder 1 and 2, Oscar AGA etc.

Thanks in advance!

I'm going ome at Christmas, and I'll have a look if I can find it. I think there's not a lot of new information in it (the manual was very sparse).

I'll let you know.

On this thread you may witness all the problems that you may have with that board and the solutions. SO there's no need for a manual anymore

Thanks LaundroMat, if you don't mind having a search for it. Sounds like typical sparse instructions for Amiga stuff.

A readable JPG scan of the sparse manual would be my ideal and as a thank you, I will post the person that does it my original Cannon Fodder disks, coz its Xmas, if you want them of course

There's a lot of info on that link Burseg, but I'd still like to know:-

What's the key that you use to disable the board on boot up?
What jumpers do what and where are they located?
Did a disk ever come with the board?

Hmm is there a need to disable this board? 030 is pretty compatible with anything unlike 040. The key might bt 1 or F1, I never used it so I can't recall. Afaik there's a jumper to enable/disable maprom.

Heh, if you can miss ths CF disks, I'd be glad to have some more Amiga originals. I'll definately have a look for the manual now

IIRC, no disk came with the board.

Ok - I'll leave Cannon Fodder then.

I'll have a looksie tonight, I have a few originals left, most got sold when I got rid of my original 1200 - this one was bought from a mate for £20
